First Edition
A collection of atlas inspired maps that show the genealogical and history of the world, organized in hand-coloured easy to read plates. The first edition of this work. SCARCE. With thirty-five hand-coloured double paged plates. With a key containing an explanation of the marks and abbreviations used in the maps. Collated, bound without plate twenty-two (which appears to binder error). This work is called an atlas, whereas it only drew inspiration from an atlas. It consists of genealogical and chronological tables that document important phases in history, rather than maps. The work is an interesting approach to learning history, laying out the chronology and genealogical of the world in a series of flow diagrams and easy to follow descriptive text. It was intended to provide a more entertaining resource from which children and adults could learn about various aspects of global history. The discussions of the maps include 'Sacred History, from the Creation to the Passover', 'A Map of the Roman Empire, from Julius Caesar to Aurelianus', and 'The History of France, from Pharamond to Pepin'. Compiled by C. V. Lavoisne, who was a Professor at the University of Caen, and C. Gros, who was a Professor at the University of Paris. Lavoisne died before the completion of this work, and so it was continued by Gros. Bound in the original marbled paper boards, both of which are detached. Many of the folio pages are oddly folded. Rather poor condition in its present state, but an excellent candidate for professional repair and rebinding.

Hardcover. Condition: Good+. Dust Jacket Condition: No Dust Jacket. First Edition. Modern? (ish) half leather, bound with a heavy plain black unlettered leather spine, with 4 raised bands, and corners over burgundy cloth boards. Reinforced inner hinge in blue 'cloth' with marbled paper endpapers stuck down to white card, and similar to the rear endpapers - which in this case should be 'endcards'. These 'endcards' have the half title and the last page stuck down to these white card endpapers. Possibly an Amateur binder? . Large Folio/Small Elephant Folio. Approx 38 cm x 31 cm (15" x 12.5"). (xi) + [i] + 100 maps plus Index 117 pp. These 100 numbered maps are hand-coloured in outline, mainly on double-page sheets, but some on single page sheets and some are 'North' and 'South' (ie: half a map) on individual double pages. All page fore-edges are gilt. The maps are generally VG but all have uniform and light brown (dust engrained) edges to the blank margins. A lot of this will rub off. Some of the maps have a little light foxing here and there. There is a large tear, repaired with now yellowing sellotape, across Map XXX (30) - A single page map 'The Shores of the Mediterranean, the Adriatic and the Black Sea'. There is a small ink blot to the bottom edge of the 'General Map of Asia'; on the map 'Persia, Afghanistan and Beloochistan' there is an old ink circle around the name 'Jellalabad' and an ink cross in the margin marking this; and some pencil notes on the 'General Map of South America' - easily erased I should imagine. The rest of the Atlas is unmarked. Double page maps measure circa 54 cm x 37 cm. ALL Maps are mounted on raised lengths of paper ensuring there are NO centre staples or similar. Great Source material for researchers /students, and individually lovely pictorial memorials of a world now past - lots of blank uncharted territories worldwide. Great for framing. Very Heavy.

Art / Print / Poster First Edition
ONE OF THE MOST ICONIC MAPS OF THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE "Americae Sive Novi Orbis, Nova Descriptio", copper engraving published by Abraham Ortelius featured in his "Theatrum Orbis Terrarum", the first modern atlas of the world, from 1570 onwards. Here in a second state of first plate with Latin text on verso. Coloured by a later hand. Size: 36,6 x 50,7 cm. Without a doubt one of the most recognized and influential maps of the Americas from the sixteenth century. It formed the European perception of America. When the map was first published, it was the best map of the Americas available. It was in fact the first of it's kind to achieve wide circulation through an atlas. North and South America stretch across this single hemisphere map. To the north, North America somewhat resembles the continent we know today, except the area near Alaska is undefined and the northwest bulges to the east. South America is a squat landmass, early editions have an extension in the southwest that would disappear in later editions of the map. The title is decorated with the key-like geometric decorations common to the maps in Ortelius' atlas. In the ocean, a sea monster lurks. In the Pacific, ships stream through the water, their sails filled with imaginary winds. The Straits of Magellan separate South America from a large southern continent that extends all the way to New Guinea. Tierra del Fuego, named by Ferdinand Magellan because he saw so many small fires burning there, is part of this continent. The name "Novae Guinea", or New Guinea, was coined by Spanish explorer Yñigo Ortíz de Retes in 1545, and it refers to his opinion that the appearance of the native peoples resembled the natives of the Guinea region of Africa. Two place names in the northwest of North America are particularly interesting. Anian derives from Ania, a Chinese province on a large gulf mentioned in Marco Polo's travels . The gulf Polo described was actually the Gulf of Tonkin, but the province's description was transposed from Vietnam to the northwest coast of North America. The first map to do was Giacomo Gastaldi's world map of 1562, followed by Bolognino Zaltieri and Gerard Mercator in 1567. The Strait then became shorthand for a passage to China, i.e. a Northwest Passage. It appeared on maps until the mid-eighteenth century. Quivira refers to the Seven Cities of Gold sought by the Spanish explorer Francisco Vasquez de Coronado in 1541. In 1539, Coronado wandered over what today is Arizona and New Mexico, eventually heading to what is now Kansas to find the supposedly rich city of Quivira. Although he never found the cities or the gold, the name stuck on maps of southwest North America, wandering from east to west. Ortelius' ability to locate and draw upon both Spanish and Portuguese sources is apparent throughout the map, and is quite remarkable, given the manner in which each nation guarded its cartographic information. Both nations kept their geographic knowledge locked in a single institution, with all cartographic knowledge maintained on a single master map. Copies of the master map were closely monitored and pilots could be punished for not returning their charts; however, no vault is impenetrable and geographic secrets leaked out, including to Ortelius in Antwerp. The influence of this and other Ortelius maps stems from the popularity and dominance of his atlas in the European market. In 1570, Ortelius published the first modern atlas; that is, a set of uniform maps with supporting text gathered in book form. Previously, there were other bound map collections, specifically, the Italian Lafreri atlases, but these were sets of maps-not necessarily uniform-selected and bound together on demand. Theatrum Orbis Terrarum, Ortelius' atlas, outperformed competing atlases from other cartographic luminaries like the Mercator family. Between 1570 and 1612, 31 editions of the atlas were published in seven languages. This map, in its first edition,appeared in the very first 1570 atlas. Price: Euro 4.500,-.
